A big thank you to the Greening Team at #Colchester City Council who've done a brilliant job in tidying up the out of control weed growth in the council owned Osborne Street Car park after we flagged it as an issue.

We first reported this uneven kerb stone to @EssexHighways over five years ago. We're pleased to say it's now, eventually, been repaired - well sort of.
They say patience is a virtue...

Every summer the ancient streets of #Colchester #BritainsFirstCity are brightened by summer planting.
Here's a couple of shots of the baskets at The Playhouse - but other businesses and groups plant as well.

For the past few years there's been a damaged street lighting column outside the Victoria Inn on North Station Road.
We recently chased the lack of progress with Essex Highways and it has now been removed entirely.
